So I decided to start one dealing with just that.

Personally I think that the mods are hit and miss, but they are human and cannot be expected to be perfect.

Plus about 40 pages of “The decline of collarme” thread.


Just saying…..its been done and still going on. No offense, but is there really anything that has not been said in the last couple of weeks?

One site is a political site, and I have seen posters moderated for "Overly zealous remarks dealing with members of the opposition." No threats or insults used, so I never knew what they meant.

And what isn't being said is coming from the moderation end. We keep seeing posts like this (from the truth is no defense thread)...

Bear with us peeps; there are several posts under discussion behind the scenes and confusion has ensued.


... without getting the follow up.

It's your house, VAA (or at least one you've been given command of). I, for one, like the mix of people here, and will adapt to changes that may come, but the inconsistency and lack of clarity is frustrating as hell.

I was not aware that post had been made :(. That statement could possibly have been worded better to state, that in tryin to explain to me while i was not on site about that thread was confusing me and I needed to see it in print to be able to make an evaluation.

Volunteer and become one yourself as there is no better teacher than experience.

Well yeah. I don't think anyone's brought up that you mods moderate too much... or not enough... or not in the right way.
